More thoughts on the game.
- Definetely made for higher level players, not the casual shooter fan.
- Scoring is tough for a mid-level player such as myself. I've only gotten 1.8b (just shy of the second extend, rounded up. Level 4 boss.) and I feel like getting the second extend would be like a 1CC for me. Believe me, that was a VERY lucky run.
- The patterns are perfectly programmed for higher level players, very tricky to get around.
- The larger than normal or oddly positioned hit box is a challenge getting used to, for me at least.
- The visuals are very nice, but extremely boring. The game lacks charm. I find that important for games that I like.
- Music is pretty cool, well composed and suits the title well.
- It's the most difficult in the DDP series, surpassing DOJ and DFK BL.
- The replay value, for me, is low - a more experienced player may really like the challenge.
- Chains are very easy to hold onto, easiest in the DDP series.
- I personally rank DDP and DDP DOJ higher on my rating scale.
- Game is more difficult than Ketsui's first loop, DOJ's first loop and Futari Maniac.
- Even with loads of practice, I will not 1CC this game.
- Cave really got it right for the higher level players, so I'll sit back and watch their vids.
